| Y5 Bilingual Writing: Ancient Roman Artefacts |
By providing instruction in students' home languages, multilingual education positions multilingual students to be on an equal footing to their peers. Educational equity supports three key principles of
multilingualism: identity, structuring for integration and additive bilingualism.
In our EAL lessons, our students are actively encouraged to tap into their home languages to access new content or understand more clearly how their language compares to English. Working with languages side-by-side helps our multilingual students to become more accurate language users in all of their languages.
